Phenomenal staff and world-class flavors. Do not miss this! Maybe the best thing happening on Oahu today. Try and taste everything. You will remember it forever!
I take my chocolate seriously, and Madre Chocolate is some of the best I've had. Their flavor combinations are mindblowingly delicious and innovative. I'm so sad I can't have their chocolate everyday on the mainland! If you meet Nat, you can tell that he has such a passion for chocolate and loves sharing it with people. Madre Chocolate was listed in Food Republic's Top 50 Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Makers in the US. So well deserved!
Really special. If you have a deep love of quality chocolate, Madre offers that a rare bean-to-bar, small batch quality you can only get in a few places. The chocolate here ranges from $6-15 a bar, so if you're the kind of person who can eat a Hershey bar and be satisfied, save your cash. If you crave rich, unique flavors though, this place was meant for you.
Chocolate is so delicious and is healthier because of the natural process used in making it.
Update-2/11/22 Madre Chocolate no longer has a retail space. You can order online now. Still delicious and new bars were added recently.
Freshly made chocolates by the owner & his lovely wife in flavors which are as unique as the islands. The Coconut Milk & Caramelized Ginger Hawaiian Chocolate is Ah. May. Zing!! It had just been made the day before by the owners on the other side of the nation.
They craft small batch chocolates and work directly with Hawaiian farmers & cooperatives to support sustainable and humane practices. This additional care can be tasted in every delicious bite!
Madre Chocolates also has live music. In the back of the store there's a cafe style setting where they served us Aztecan hot chocolate while we were serenaded by an acoustic crooner.
We participated in the Make Your Own Chocolate Bar event. Had such a wonderful experience learning about cacao and the chocolate making process. Nat is so knowledgeable, passionate, and kind. He's very personable and made it such a fun event. Definitely check out their chocolate making event! You also get to sample a lot of chocolate!
Oahu's first bean to bar chocolate maker. Located in historic Chinatown with a building that showcases the history with exposed brick and wood. The staff is well educated on the types of chocolate and how to pair the chocolate with various food and drink. Friendly staff that can answer questions and provide insight make this an enjoyable experience. Plus, the chocolate is incredible!
Poked in this little place while waiting for Thai place next door to open. We got to sample all their chocolate bar flavors!! The girl was so friendly and nice. We bought the coconut milk and caramelized ginger. Definitely visit this little place!!
I finally made a trip inside, I will be forever ruined toward all the rest of lesser chocolate in the world. The sadness now knowing true art in chocolate is rare and the inspired flavor of Madre made my heart sing. I am from the South West and so surprised the Horchata bar captured that taste perfectly! Of my three top favorites I bought full bars to stretch out and indulge a chunk at a time... did not last long.
Oh boy was I happy to find this place! Excellent chocolate, from local milk chocolate (made with coconut milk) & ginger, to super dark with cardamom and coffee. So many options. I look forward to trying them all. Limited hours, double check before you go. Street parking or garages are nearby.
We did a make your own chocolate bar class and it was super fun. Paris was really fun and informative. It was interesting to learn about the whole process with Madre. The chocolate sampling was great.
Bought almost every kind of bar they sell. Super friendly and happy to share their knowledge of chocolate.
